Support program for families

Program podrške porodica (PPP) od 2018. godine sprovodi se sa porodicama čija su djeca korisnici Dnevnog centra za djecu u riziku. Svrha programa je pomoć djeci koja u riziku da smanje ili eliminišu neprimjeren, (samo)ugrožavajući i rizičan način života, da prevaziđu svoje razvojne probleme i razviju prosocijalno ponašanje i stavove unutar porodičnog okruženja.

  • improvement of parental skills for responsible (positive) parenting
  • raising capacity for more effective overcoming of life's problems and dealing with crisis situations
  • raising capacity for more effective education and overcoming problems in raising children
  • better recognition and satisfaction of the child's needs in accordance with age and developmental stage
  • improvement of family relations and family cohesiveness
  • enabling the family/parents to build a personal/informal support network
  • training the family/parents to make contact with the representatives of the relevant systems
  • use of services at the local level

The most common problems of families involved in the project are: quality of interaction between parents and children, unclear communication, recognition and regulation of emotions, understanding of child development, ability to overcome stress. Parents were also given advice on how to exercise their rights in the field of social and child protection, as well as assistance in obtaining personal documents.
